Kevin Tkachuk wants to impress in his clash with Rod Snow
Glasgow prop Kevin Tkachuk wants to put one over on his Canadian Test colleague and hero, Rod Snow, when The Dragons come calling at Hughenden tonight (ko 7.30pm).

Canada captain Kevin is desperate to make-up for lost time after missing last week's victory over Edinburgh with a dose of flu, and he wants to start by putting one over on his boyhood hero Snow when he goes head to head with him for the first time in his competitive career.

Kevin told the Daily Record: "Rod has been one of the true giants of Canadian rugby and an absolute hero and role model of mine.

"The only time I faced him was in a pre-World Cup trial match. It is a great opportunity to show how far I have come in the UK. I am really excited at the prospect.

"Along with Al Charron and Gareth Wyatt, Rod is rugby trailblazer and missionary for Canada in the European game.

"He opened doors for people like myself and I owe him a lot for that. The best way I can display my feelings of admiration for him will be to perform at my best."
